The Member of Parliament for Assin South, Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, has called for the resignation of the Foreign Affairs Minister and North Tongu MP, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa.<\/p>\n
This follows Ablakwa\u2019s persistent criticism of former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo\u2019s use of private jets for international travels, and his earlier public declaration that he would resign if his own government did the same when in power.<\/p>\n
In a post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) on Monday, August 18, Rev. Fordjour accused Ablakwa of engaging in \u201cpetty politics\u201d over presidential jet usage and travel expenses.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr Principle @S\\_OkudzetoAblak, Ghana is expecting your resignation,\u201d the former Deputy Education Minister posted.<\/p>\n
He further stated that the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) must apologise to Ghanaians and President Akufo-Addo for politicising presidential travels.<\/p>\n
He also urged the government to boldly propose the acquisition of a new presidential jet to ensure the President\u2019s safety.<\/p>\n
\u201cNDC must apologise to Ghanaians and Prez Akufo-Addo for doing petty politics with presidential travels. Govt must be bold to submit proposal for the acquisition of new Presidential Jet for the President\u2019s safety,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n
His post comes after President Mahama embarked on a two-nation trip to Japan and Singapore, reportedly on a commercial flight instead of the nation\u2019s presidential jet, which is undergoing servicing in France.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
